Web Inspector: Breakpoint controls (enable/disable, play/pause, step over/in/out) should be visible in more situations.

For note, Xcode has a persistent display of these controls.
Older versions of the inspector also had them available more persistently, and after using the newer inspector for a while I still miss them.

Example scenario where this would be useful:
1) show inspector
2) cmd-shift-f to search in all resources
3) select a script result
4) add a breakpoint -> realized breakpoints are disabled because the breakpoint is greyed out
Now I have to switch to another panel to turn them on.

And there are other scenarios where I wish I didn't have to change views just to interact with these controls.
(Yes, there are shortcuts, but I've been spoiled by previous inspector versions and haven't quite learned these particular ones yet.)
